Vancouver Island Colony Mountain District (Rough Sketch)

The Mountain District with a numbered grid on it located on Vancouver Island near the Nanaimo and Cranberry Districts. Relief and other markings show the land cover and there is a small inset map that is an index to all the districts on Vancouver Island. Under the title it says "Lithographed at the Topographical Depot of the War Office under the direction of Major A.C. Cook, R.E. Col. H. James, R.E., F.R.S., M.R.I.A. & C Director". There is a hand-written legend with proposed roads, repairs and present roads shown with different coloured and dotted lines but only a small section of road in need of repair is on the map itself. Some of the features named on the map include: Chase River, Nanaimo Harbour, Colvilletown, Delta Plains, Mouth of the Nanaimo River, Douglas Island, Newcastle Island, Departure Bay, and Wakesiah or Taitooktan Mountain. Includes hand-written notes on the reverse side of the map.
